How can I convince my dad to someday buy a mini-ramp for skateboarding?

Someday I want to buy like a $350.00 mini-ramp for skateboarding, but I am not sure I can possibly convince my dad to help me buy one. Please help

If I was your Dad you’d never convince me to spend $350 on something I can make for $50 or less.
Get helping out. Bit of work and creativity with some materials found round the neighborhood you could have one bythe end of next week.
Cheap.
Happy Dad, happy you. How the world works for sensible folks.
Here’s a big telescope, real powerful, top stuff. Totally home made.Cheap and real good.
